The prevalence of diseases in plaque-type psoriasis patients (n = 581) was compared with hospital-based controls (n = 1,044) and a population-based survey (RKI sample; n = 4,705). Common odds ratios adjusted for age and sex are presented with their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), f not significant
aDue to low numbers, only adjusted for sex
